I have a USB optical Logitech mouse... no big deal, Suse detected it right on the installation, and it works great except for a small detail, the mousescrolling does not works. I thought it would be as easy as adding a bunch of lines to the x86config:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "PS/2"
*Option "Buttons" "5"
*Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
*Option "Device" "/dev/mouse"
Option "Device" "/dev/mouse"
EndSection
* Marks the lines I added.
Easy, eh? Except for the fact that doing that disabled my mouse completely. I guess that was not the right way to do it, so anyone knows what I did wrong or what's the right way to enable the scroller?

Maybe Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2" wouls work?

Yay! It worked. But that's kinda strange, when I was configuring my mouse in the xf86cfg, the only protocol that would work was PS/2, all other would not work... oh what does it matters, my mouse is complete now! Woo! Now time to move on to the next piece of hardware that needs to be configured...
Linux is like a great adventure (unless you give up or die in the process)
